  1. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I try not to make assumptions about anyone, especially patients, but I think we are all capable of unconscious bias. Perhaps I am biased to think many white people are biased or racially...

  2. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, no. Low income white people have the power over the wealthiest black people to call the cops on them and possibly get them killed. The white men who shot Ahmaud Arbery because they didn't...

  3. When To Just Not Go Back For The Next Shift...

    LibraNurse27 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    OMG was that the ratio?? I briefly worked at a CHI facility (7 months). All the red flags were there. Sign on bonus, moving bonus, tons of travelers/agency staff. We usually had 6-7 Med/Surg pts on...

  4. Leaving the Bedside

    LibraNurse27 replied to Live.Intentionally's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! When do you sleep?? I felt so guilty leaving my unit since covid was still raging. I wasn't planning to quit, but got a random call from a job I applied to a year ago that paid way more and is...

    Racism is a system of structuring opportunity and assigning value based on physical properties such as skin color and hair texture. This “system” unfairly disadvantages some individuals and groups...

  6. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Bias is different than racism. Anyone of any race can have biases. Black people can't be "racist" to white people because they don't hold racial power over them. They can't use race to their advantage...

  7. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    LibraNurse27 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has taken a break from this site and come back to it, and if so why? How long did you stay away, and did you come back "refreshed?" I've been on much more than usual...

  9. Nurses That Never Worked In A Hospital...

    LibraNurse27 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    I loved the community clinic I worked in but had to go to a hospital because the pay wasn't enough to survive here. My dream job would be to work there per diem and volunteer at another clinic I used...

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Well, Breonna Taylor's boyfriend tried to do that when people busted down the door without announcing they were cops, and his girlfriend ended up dead while she was sleeping in her bed. His gun didn't...

  14. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I would LOVE for America to have no guns. The statistics are clear; we have the most mass shootings by FAR and the most police shootings. Probably the most shootings in general of any kind but I...

    There is something I can agree

  16. Between a rock and a hard place (or Sedated patient deemed me uncompassionate)

    LibraNurse27 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    I started working in PACU 5 months ago and even I can tell from the story it was too soon to transfer to the floor. Pt was still coming out of anesthesia, and that can require 1:1 observation or even...

  17. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that most people are good. I don't think there is a way to quantify what percent of police are racist or corrupt. But whatever percent it is causes horrible consequences. I think it's OK to be...

  18. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely. I think many foster parents are wonderful and do it for the right reasons, but others may do it for money and then mistreat the children. Same with group homes. I will have to take classes...

  19. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I agree. Children of all colors and backgrounds suffer from abuse and neglect poverty. Black and brown children experience poverty in higher percentages based on national statistics, but there...

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    That is so nice. I am looking into adoption and it's so hard to only be able to help one or 2 kids. the CA state adoption website has hundreds of kids on it and they all have little profiles saying...

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't see the video but I will watch. It breaks my heart to see how many children are in dire need of just basic things like love, support, and stability. When I worked at an after school program I...

  23. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!! If he was a white child that would never have happened. We are trained to view black boys as criminals, so of course it was assumed he had a gun. No benefit of the doubt. Black boys aren't...

  24. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It was a bad situation in general. Young girls in foster care and I'm sure their lives are tough. Not having parents or any support system/sense of love does a lot to kids and it manifests in...

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Also their funding should be redistributed. Less money on military style equipment. More money on implicit bias training, de-escalation training, education about mental illness and the...
